Yes, you are right, this draw is a good result for Manchester United, because before this match many people predicted that Liverpool would take revenge when they lost in the FA Cup, but once again Manchester United was able to prevent that and managed to hold Liverpool to a draw in this match. This is actually a bad result for Liverpool because with this defeat Liverpool had to return to second place in the standings even though they only lost in goal productivity.
I actually appreciate Manchester United's performance a little in this match, because they managed to make it difficult for Liverpool and they were even almost able to win the match even though they were the first to concede a goal in the first half.
Manchester United is an inconsistent team, sometimes they play well, sometimes just so-so and they even play beyond expectations. It's very strange to see them show inconsistency throughout the season, even though this has been happening for seasons.

Klopp said after the match that they had never played as well against Manchester United as in the last two matches between them, but they failed to beat them in either of them, so just playing well is not always enough. In the first half, Liverpool were very good, but in the second half, one mistake turned the tide of the match, Fernandes scored a goal that will be remembered for a long time, and it would be a shame if in the end this mistake becomes the reason, that Liverpool is one point short of becoming champions.
There is still so much drama to come in the premier league so far as this season is concerned. Liverpool dominated the first half and that was the moment they should have killed the game, but their wastefulness cost them and they had to pay the price. This is a reminder that we should always seize the opportunity when we have the chance and not wait for another time. I think Liverpool underated Manchester United from the very beginning, they thought that what happened to Manchester against Chelsea was going to repeat it self again. Salah wastefulness was too much, he had many chances to score goals but he didn't do that, you could see the frustration on the face of Klopp everytime Salah misses a good chance in that game. Liverpool has are surely going to keep fighting to the end, but it would have been better if they were still at the driving seat. They will fight to the end, this is not going to cost them, provided they don't drop more points, certainly Arsenal are going to drop points along the way.
